Bug #: 55437
Summary: Non-const copy constructor causes error - even if not
called
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.4.5
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: rockydowns0...@msn.com
I believe the error below should not occur. The copy constructor in question
is not exercised. Moreover, making the copy constructor const also makes the
error not occur.
class String{
public:
String(String& s){} // No error if this line is removed
String(const char* s){}
};
int main(){
String S = (char*)"Test";
return 0;
}
test2.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test2.cpp:9: error: no matching function for call to ‘String::String(String)’
test2.cpp:5: note: candidates are: String::String(const char*)
test2.cpp:4: note: String::String(String&)
